Where did the last week go?

We have been out and about every day since last Monday, a variety of things but most of them involving cement, sand or yeso ( a type of plaster used here for internal rendering of walls). I did get a couple of days here to work on the vegetable plot, weeding and watering and planting more Borlotto bean seeds. Some things are growing well, the things we expect really such as different varieties of beans, plus peas, tomatoes, onions, leeks, garlic, courgettes, cucumbers, watermelon, sweetcorn, peanuts and potatoes. The red cabbage and brussel seedlings are growing well too, so are the cauliflowers. For some reason neither the chillies - 3 different varieties - nor the peppers nor the aubergines have yet to appear. I've re-seeded so hopefully in the next few days we'll see something happen.

Strawberries! All 30+ plants in flower and setting fruit, tomorrow John is going to strim some long grass from next door so I can dry it out and use it under the fruit as it's getting wet when I water them.

We've lots of herbs in the garden, some growing wild as well, but plenty for every day use and more seeds going in - especially coriander as we use lots of it, both fresh and dried leaf, dried powder and crushed seeds. Struggling to get cumin to germinate but we'll persevere and as the weather warms up, maybe it'll start growing.

Fiesta in Montenegro on Thursday....we're expecting it to be quieter partly due to the lack of car access from Yator but things don't always turn out as you think! The service at the chapel starts about midday followed by....well, we don't know for sure as every year is different but there is always food and drink somewhere.
